3. The Meaning of Responsibility

In this book so far I have been building a case for the responsibility of white Christians for the sins of white supremacy. At this point I finally turn to this ethic of responsibility and explain what I mean (and don’t mean) by the term. What does responsibility involve? What is its substance and its praxis? In light of the failure of other approaches, such as reconciliation, why advocate for this one? In the remainder of this chapter I flesh out the contours of this ethic of responsibility. I believe that in light of the devastation of white supremacy, both to the bodies of nonwhite people and to the theological doctrines and practices of the white Christian church, accepting responsibility for this devastation is the only choice white Christians have.
